I agree with @bcbishop. I was resistant to pick a side and was even critical of BOS’ tactics and what some of their members were doing (hell, I missed the whole jaw-dropping reveal because I wasn’t paying attention to other ARGs, something that still annoys me to no end). Whether they want to believe it or not, there is still a stigma attached to…[Read more]

Christ. How hard is it to perform what is required of you?

I solved the ciphers and emailed but never heard anything.

Oh well.

It’s interesting that you speak of creating a moment, @larry… because that’s what made this feel different. I’ve given my share of dollars to people on the street and to various charities, but there’s always been a sense of disconnection. Handing out food and water to people on skid row, I wasn’t in a rush. This wasn’t just something I was…[Read more]

I think we can all agree that this shouldn’t be a competition. That’s learning the worst lesson of all from this.

Apologees to BOS.

@meghanmayhem Christ, calm down.

Good work. Seriously. Much more impactful than buying booze.

@chelsea To be fair, I was referring to the people you guys were “helping” as bar rats. But that’s beside the point…

I’m all for unmotivated acts of charity and maybe this community can continue to do stuff like this without the promise of some in game reward.

Don’t throw judgements whilst making no actions of your own. BOS, TeamJoyce, or just individuals, we made actions, while you sit there on the fence applauding and dismissing and making no actions of your own. Do something. Make a choice. Make a difference.

So buying and passing out water bottles for the poor was inaction? Got it.

You guys w…[Read more]

Correct. Our instructions were deliberately vague. We could do whatever the fuck we wanted.

But it was our actions that determined our characters today. And BOS did not come out looking good IMO.
Does that make me a sanctimonious asshole? Maybe. Maybe not. I just saw today as a chance to do something greater than “play a game” or “impress the boss.”

As I was going about Noah’s bidding today and passing out water bottles and bagged lunches to the homeless, something struck me… The System/BOS/OSDM didn’t matter. We didn’t matter. The only thing that mattered was what was right in front of our faces. This was about confronting something that we hate to see on a daily basis and making an…[Read more]

I never thought of it that way so is Noah our new Addison who needs saving??

A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!!!!

…..

…..

…..

No.

No one saves the anti-hero.
The anti-hero survives the storm by being the storm.

I can only speak from experience, but I’ve hated Horace ever since the very first Tension consultation when he lashed out and called me “a piece of shit.” And the things we’ve heard from the grapevine paint him as an even bigger monster than we initially thought. Noah, who clearly is trying to break free from this tyrannical father, has looked out…[Read more]

Fascinating theories…

Although I have my doubts that we will see a literal version of Anoch.
So far, all we have seen are actions motivated by ritual, belief and indoctrination. And if there’s one harsh lesson we learned from the OOA, it was that it was all in service of nothing more than control. None of us have seen or experienced anything…[Read more]

But why waste time on someone who’s already proven they aren’t interested in anything he has to say? Lost cause right there.

Bingo.

Imagine you’re in ROCKY…

Mickey: “Ya gotta shot at the prize, kid!”
Rocky: “Yo, fuck you, Mick! I ain’t no puppet!”

*quits*

Can someone, ANYONE, please point me to anything, just one single thing, that shows The System wants to help people rather than just exploit them for money and data and fun?

The answer to your inquiry lays with the man himself: Noah is, I think, a good person. Aggressive as fuck, yes. But good.

Hell, he personally tried to save my dumb ass from…[Read more]

I’m working hard to be pro-BOS, but the mentality of some of their members seem to be like the goth kids on South Park.

There’s a time to flip the finger to the man. This ain’t it.

Noah wanted you to go outside your comfort zone and experience something real. You denied yourself that.
How much would we have learned from the OOA if we were completely non-compliant to anything they asked? The Tension Experience would’ve been the “Sit-Alone-In-The-Corner…[Read more]

This is incredible, @bcbishop! All these Noah interactions are crazy and fascinating!

Noah strikes me as the kind of person who, despite all his talk, is under the control of the OSDM and his father. I think he’s secretly a prisoner, but is slyly using his influence and public voice to turn the tables on them. He cares about us…and I think he…[Read more]

How much you wanna bet we will see or hear about Sarah Thompson at Noah’s seminar?

Well, look at Noah pulling all the strings…

This is almost…cult like.
